ELMORE - Woodmore Local Schools will vote on employing Kevin Ball as the district's interim superintendent at a special board meeting Wednesday.

Ball, the district's middle school principal and special education director, would start in his new role Thursday if approved by the board.

His contract would run through July 31 with a salary of $100,000, which would be prorated to his term as interim superintendent.

The school board also has an executive session scheduled for the special board meeting where it will consider the appointment and/or employment of a public employee.

Woodmore has been looking for a new administrator after Interim Superintendent Jay LeFevre submitted his resignation Feb. 13. The school board voted to accept LeFevre's resignation at its Feb. 21 meeting.

School board president Corinna Bench said earlier this month that LeFevre gave 30 days' notice when he submitted his letter of resignation to her. LeFevre started with the district at the beginning of the current school year.

Bench said the district has begun a search for a new superintendent and is seeking qualified candidates to permanently fill the position.

"That's been something we were going to begin in the spring," she said of finding a permanent superintendent.

The school district announced LeFevre's resignation and cited personal reasons for his decision to leave Woodmore.

Bench declined to comment further on the reasons LeFevre gave for his resignation, or whether it was a surprise that the interim superintendent decided to leave before the end of his contract.

LeFevre most recently served as Pike-Delta-York Local Schools' superintendent and spent 36 years with that district. The Woodmore school board selected LeFevre in August 2016 to replace Linda Bringman as superintendent.

LeFevre had signed a contract through July 31 at an annual salary of $102,500.
